Standing on a precipice… that’s how I feel at this point in my life. It seems that just a short time ago, I was dreaming of a time when I would find someone who would love me infinitely… someone I could share the rest of my life with knowing that I would be cherished and taken care of. My life since then has been a whirl of love found and love lost; of happiness generously interspersed with heartaches and an inexplainable longing for something more… something missing… something I haven’t yet found…
Until I found him…
I couldn’t be happier. I have been blessed to have met and found the best friend and the best boyfriend in the entire world. And now, I know, with every beat of my heart, that I have found the most perfect lifetime partner I could ever hope to have. And along with this is the reassuring thought that the life I carry inside me; his seed, would have a father that she would be proud of.
And yet, everything has yet to fully sink in. Perhaps this is the feeling one gets when confronted with one of the most life-changing commitments. This year has truly been an emotional and overwhelming time for me as I embark on two of the greatest journeys a woman can ever take; marriage and motherhood. And while I do not fully know what the future may bring, I could say that by God’s grace and the love of our families, James and I, and our little angel, Adrienne Martha Ysabella, could look forward to beautiful days ahead.
